*** John that could have been the same occasion ? also there was another massive flypast in 1953 with the Royal review,the R.A.F put into the air a huge chunk of its air force when aircraft assembled from all over the country at one airfield,there were bombers,fighters,trainers,it was organised with absolute military precision.
The Avro Lincolns must have been around 1949.
